During the 2020 Polish presidential election campaign Żalek has stated in a live television broadcast that "LGBT are not people, it's an ideology". He then said that there were homosexuals before the LGBT movement, after which he was kicked from the studio.[6][7] He later stated that making it seem that he said "LGBT aren't people" was a manipulation on the part of the journalist.[8]
